Hotel Koldingfjord

Take a swim in the fjord from our private bathing jetty

Above the centre of Kolding stands the castle of Koldinghus. It was on this site in 1268 that the Danish King built a fortress for the purpose of guarding the border between the kingdom of Denmark and the Duchy of Schleswig. The earliest parts still standing date from the 15th century. The fortress was rebuilt as an unfortified castle in the mid-16th century, and the Great Tower - also known as the Heroes Tower - was added around 1600. At that time the King often stayed at Koldinghus. Excellent temporary exhibitions, and impressive silver collections of faience ware and war memorabilia.

You can go to Sydney. Or Lillebælt. In both places, you can walk above a bridge. Experience the height. The sinking feeling. The spectacular and unimpeded view. Enjoy the water. The ships. The view towards the land. The weather. The weak shaking of the bridge when a train is rumbling over the bridge. Bridgewalking Lillebælt is a new, unique attraction in Europe. In May 2015, the first tourists can take a walk to the top. Please come along and have quite a unique experience, which has not been possible in Europe before. The walk will start at The Welcome Centre. Here our very skilled guides will meet and prepare you for the wonderful walk you are going to take. You will walk together from the Welcome Centre to The Old Lillebælt Bridge where you will be connected to a security system – and then you are going up! At a height of 60 metres, you will cross the bridge. During the walk, the guide will inform you of the bridge architecture, the history, the building and the nature around Lillebælt. We look forward to welcoming you in the heights!
